Lemonade Diet?
Has anyone tried the lemonade diet? If so, how much did you lose?
I understand that you could lose a lot of weight, but there is a way that you can slowly stop it and then when you get off, just eat healthy and exercise. I just want to lose weight really fast as I am going on vacation next week and have yet to lose the baby weight. And for the person who asked:

I did it and made it to day 5. Surprisingly you have a lot of energy, but the salt water flush is BRUTAL. It gets to the point where you want to keep going because you have come this far but if you saw someone walking down the street with a cheese burger you’d murder them for it.
I probably lost about 3 lbs. but I didn’t stick it out for the whole thing. It’s also pretty pricy, and if you are going on vacation in a week, it’s not enough time for the diet.
They recommend that you come off of it very slowly with raw veggies and fresh OJ. I thought that was a stupid rule and decided to jump right in and have a bacon egg and cheese… I did that on a Friday night and had to miss work on the following Monday…my stomach did not appreciate me going from nothing but lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper for 5 days to whatever the hell I wanted. This is coming from someone with a stomach of steel…I wouldn’t recommend this diet unless you had ample time to recoop and weren’t going to be around anyone that you care about a lot because I was VERY cranky.
its high on sugar so you will crash a lot
Think about it, you do it and lose alot of wieght, but then you crash and gain more than what you had before.
What is it never heard of it
No, sorry, I haven’t tried this. I wouldn’t dare.
I’d venture to say, though, that initially there would be a weight loss, i.e., the contents of one’s colon. This could be as much a 5 lbs, depending on the person.
Have you tried the old, reliable cottage cheese diet? It works. The same weight loss as yours, but with less of a strain on the digestion.
Best of luck!
